Chapter 337 Chapter 335: My Track

In the 90s, the Pacers and Knicks were old enemies. They were both strong teams in the Eastern Conference and often met in the playoffs.Compared with the feasting "Big Apple City", Indianapolis can only be regarded as an inconspicuous small city.Because of this, the proud New Yorkers gave the duel between the two teams a discriminatory title --- "Hillbilly VS Knicks".

Reggie Miller, the iconic Pacers player at the time, disliked New York. He listed the opponent as an opponent he had to beat.

"New Yorkers are so self-righteous. They think we're no match for them. They think they're better than us, and we're just a bunch of kids who grew up in the country. I can't stand that, so I'm going to prove it to them."

In 1994, before the start of the Knicks-Pacers series, Reggie Miller said so.

At this moment, a New Yorker stepped forward and criticized Reggie Miller's remarks, "Reggie is rotten, and his sister Shelly is also rotten. People from the Miller family will never be able to gain a foothold on the professional basketball court. The only thing that group of bumpkins can do is enjoy themselves with their mouths."

This person's remarks were very rude and unceremonious.The person who attacked Miller was neither a Knicks player nor a local reporter in New York.It's Spike Lee, a prestigious film director and a diehard fan of the New York Knicks!
Spike Lee, in addition to his impressive achievements in movies.In the basketball circle, he is also a well-known figure, a "living fossil" Knicks fan.

Li started watching football at the age of 8. Although he is over sixty this year, he has never stopped.He has come all the way from the era of Monroe, Reed, and Bernard King. He has experienced and witnessed the Knicks' two championships in the 70s, Ewing and Oakley's New York gangsters in the 90s, Alan Houston's dagger lore and the finals.
Spike Lee's history of watching football for nearly half a century is completely a history of blood and tears of the New York Knicks.The team's wins and losses, grievances and hatreds are all integrated into his wrinkles from shallow to deep and beard from black to white.

Therefore, just like the famous Hollywood movie star Jack Nicholson in the Staples Center.Spike Lee has a high status in Madison Garden. Not only does he have exclusive VIP seats, he is even ridiculed as a mascot, becoming a member of the Knicks!

The word "Spike" means long nails in English.The name complements the character, Spike Lee is indeed like a spike, sharp and stubborn.

The characteristics of New York fans are most obvious in him. He usually looks gentle, but once he meets a rival or is stimulated by the opponent, his hideous face will appear.No matter who you are, Spike Lee will definitely kill with harsh, rough and ugly language, and often end with the other party being speechless and himself heartily.With such a smooth tongue and various bickering records, Spike Lee's "status in the world" is also extremely stable.

In the 90s, the grievances between Spike Lee and Reggie Miller were just one of the typical cases.In fact, there are countless people who have fought with him.He never let go of league superstars, bench players, referees, and even players from his home team.

And this time, Chris Paul's remarks after winning the All-Star Game MVP undoubtedly stimulated the pain points of this black director and diehard Knicks fan.Combined with what Henson did in New York not long ago, the No. [-] troll in New York officially aimed his gun at the Chinese coach Henson Joe who is also not easy to mess with!
"Coach Henson and his players did play well in the first half of the season, but they seem to have forgotten one thing - there are 82 games in the NBA regular season. Until the 82 games are over, no one knows what fate they will face. Let alone win the O'Brien Cup. Coach Henson and Chris Paul are fortunate that their first game after the All-Star break is against the New York Knicks. Because the Knicks on track will let them experience the cruelty of the second half of the season!"

Henson read the news about Spike Lee in the newspaper, and every line revealed anger and restlessness.

"This time, you have provoked a big troll, Henson." Vogel teased from the side.

"Come on, just a movie director. He doesn't really think, all half-asses, can tell the game of basketball. Come on guys, we gotta get those guys who've had a weekend off to get some exercise."

Since the flight from New York to Indianapolis doesn't take long, just two hours, the Knicks decided to start early tomorrow morning.Today, the players are training in Madison Square Garden with peace of mind.

But the media in New York were not so calm.Most of them have arrived in Indianapolis ahead of schedule.

Although the game between New York and the Knicks was hyped by the outside world because of Spike Lee's relationship, although Chris Paul was very excited for some reason.But Henson himself did not make any special adjustments in training.

Indeed, the Knicks have a good record this season, and Anthony and JR have also played their best performances.But in Henson's view, it is not difficult to defeat the Knicks.As he previously assessed, beating the Knicks won't be easy, but it won't be too difficult either.

First of all, New York has too few offensive points. It can be said that only Anthony and JR can be used as offensive starting points in the entire team.Therefore, as long as JR's nerve knife can be locked during the rotation time, Anthony will fall into the situation of singles again.

By Chandler?By Kidd?By Shumpert?Come on, these guys are not the kind of players who can kill the game with scoring.

Second, on the glass, Henson doesn't think an aging Chandler can control the paint.This season, due to frequent injuries, Knicks coach Mike Woodson tried to use Anthony as the fourth position when he had nowhere to go.But instead of being dissatisfied with the climate, Anthony played a scoring champion in the fourth position.

But what about Anthony's control of the rebound?I'm afraid it's not that strong anymore.No matter how powerful Tyson Chandler is, he only has two hands.Henson believes that as long as they can dominate the offensive rebounds and allow the team to get a lot of second chances, the Knicks will have nothing to do.

So, sometimes Henson is really not arrogant.The reason why he dares to be "arrogant" is because he has such capital.

But Henson believed the Pacers could win, and Knicks fans and reporters didn't.Coupled with the fact that Spike Lee, a big troll, fanned the flames, New York fans and reporters instantly had a mysterious confidence.

So today, during the media opening period between training sessions, a large number of New York media poured in and asked a lot of questions that Henson thought were extremely stupid.

"What do you think of tomorrow's game? Go and see the record of the Pacers this season, and then think about it slowly. Although this game hasn't started yet, it has already entered our track." Facing the New York media who came from afar, Henson was not polite.Since he is the public enemy of New York, he should try his best to play this role well.

Although Henson's words were not pleasant to listen to, they were not harsh.Although the Knicks are currently ranked third in the Eastern Conference, they don't look much different from the Eastern Conference's first.But in fact, compared with the Knicks' current record of 32 wins and 18 losses and the Pacers' 49 wins and 4 losses, there is a world of difference.

As soon as Henson said these words, the journalists all cheered up.Such arrogant remarks are indeed in line with Henson's consistent character, and the reporters can't help but want to start confronting him.

"The New York Knicks are third in the Eastern Conference this season, Mr. Henson..."

"Yes, third in the East, so what?" Henson asked aggressively, "Tell Spike Lee not to come to Indianapolis to watch the game tomorrow. Because he and the Knicks will be buried here. I will deal with Spike Lee and the Knicks like Reggie Miller in the 90s! I said, the game has entered my track, if you don't believe it, let's wait and see."

After Henson finished speaking, leaving behind the New York media who stayed where they were, he turned and left.

If Spike Lee is a long nail, then Henson is a crowbar, specially designed to pull out these smelly and hard nails, and then smash them to the ground!
This time, the famous black director has provoked a more difficult enemy than Reggie Miller.

　It is said that men should take the initiative, well, let's take the initiative to update 5 today.Guys, let's cast our votes.
